Jude Law admits to losing 30lbs that he put on for his latest movie role... as he reveals further receding hairline

He has revealed that he lost the 30 lbs that he put on for his role in the film Dom Hemingway at the Toronto international Film Festival on Sunday.

And it looks as though he's lost a bit more of his receding hairline too.

While the 40-year-old Sherlock Holmes star wore a stylish black fedora to the premiere of the film the night before, he appeared at a press conference the following day without any head covering, revealing his tanned scalp in all it's glory.

The balding continues: Jude Law, 40, did a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday sans hat, revealing how much farther his hairline had receded

What a difference a hat makes: Without a hat Law looks much older than with, where he looks very similar to the heartthrob who became a star over the past decade

At the press conference, Law revealed
he laid his latest movie character to rest after filming ended to get
him out of his system - by burying items associated with him.

The Hollywood heartthrob put on the weight to play seedy safe-cracker
Dom Hemingway in the film of the same name by eating two tubs of ice
cream and drinking 12 cans of fizzy drinks per day.

Law
admitted that when he first read the script he was shocked by how
terrible his character was, but ultimately decided: 'It's fun being foul
sometimes.'

The actor also
explained how he had to exorcise Hemingway from his life by burying all
his props in a makeshift grave on the Isle of Man where they had been
shooting.

'I had to get him
out of my system so I shaved everything off, and got rid of all the
other stuff I used for it, all the fizzy drinks and the cigarettes and
we put them in a box and buried it with a little cross,' Law said.

'So anyone who really loves the film can go and look for the cross that says Dom Hemingway on it. It's in a field somewhere.'

Law also discovered that a tub of ice cream and a 12 pack of soda was the most efficient way to put on weight.

'I was worried after a while that it
wasn't getting where I wanted it to get - I inspected myself every
night,' the Closer star revealed.

'It
was a lot of everything, but two key ingredients - ice cream, two or
three tubs a day, and a lot of fizzy drinks, 12 cans a day.'

Richard E Grant, who also stars in the film, claimed Law's weight-gain did not dissuade any adoring fans.

'I feel sorry for Jude because even after gaining 30 pounds he still looks like a walking love god,' Grant explained.

'And wherever we were on location, women's knees were literally wobbling, so he seems immune no matter what he looks like.'

Apparently with or without a hat.
